Can someone who has the CF Dress Instructions handy confirm this for me, the last I was told and this was few years back was that the Air Force Peak Cap was for wear only by MWO and above, this of course was about the same time the Army finally said see you later to the bleedin thing. I could be...

My bad I should have been a little clearer, what I meant was the order #3 and forgot to add that the sub orders, less whites allowed for the wear of the beret. so basically what you said.

Not true, naval personel are permitted to wear the beret with all orders of dress save for #3 and all orders of #1 (1a, 1b) Blah Blah, and ball caps are permitted for wear onboard ship (read within the dockyard)

I know the post is a little old but a little perspective, the wearing of specialist badges once recsinded is up to the mbr, if they stayed qual long enough to retain the "honorary distinction" as far as jump wings go (and i could be talking out my arse here) there is no such period, for ships...

They're pretty much the same only BOTP has more C#%% and zero instruction lessons (knowledge/skill lesson plan) we do that in phase 2 for the Army types, I will say from a friends perspective, if you go mars and they offer to let you bypass mars II (NETPO) take it, it's bassically OSQAB all over...

As for summer BMQ Courses, these are brigade level, the units aren't running their own, they may be tasked to run the course or not, but the positions belong to the brigade, in BC For example it's done a summer training coy Chilliwack, In Alberta Militia Trg District Calgary (41 CBG), if its...

I'm curious to see the difference that will be made re contract extensions and LOA's once (read if) the feds manage to get the planned reservist job protection bill through commons.

gunner, I see your a west coaster, any chance you sailed the 280, appears those of us "280 Ladies" are all going the CEOTP route (4 Last year) including 1 CFR

Just an update now that I'm back from BOTP, the mess kit is still up for grabs for any navy types offr or ncm looking

About 4 years ago there was an article in safety digest where a tech in Trenton, I think it was Trenton anyway, nevertheless, he discovered that an hour or so after doing maint on an aircraft noticed his watch missing,  he telephoned ops upon noticing, grounding the flight before it had the...

So is that to say that admin/disciplinary action shouldn't be taken against the next tech that leaves his watch in the engine compartment because his inexperience made him forget to remove it prior to conducting a maint routine. This is a case though where because it happened on 2 different...

They'll give you an advance of $220 when you get there, the only thing you really need to worry about is cab far from the airport (have about 100) and you should be golden

Twisted now you are talking about a mercenary army, who fight only for money, not layalty, not the good of thier nation, or the safety of thier neighbors, only for the good ol' looney

I sailed with a guy who left the navy a MS NavSig and came back 1 year later, as a LS NavComm and had to do the 277 Conversion course (amalgamation occurred during the time he was out) granted this is not a 5 year absence but really the systems can't have changed that much for the EW guys.

I could be wrong here, and way out of my lane, but a mbr can only refuse a posting once (please correct me if I'm wrong). In the trade I was in a carreer mgr with some spine told those guys who pulled the "if you post me I'll get out" garbage that the door was wide open don't let the knob hit...

A the good old class B annotated A, had a few of those myself.

This is the case as it was for the guys on my BMOQ (the last serial) for the CEOTP types off the street. Rank OCdt, Pay IAW CBI 204, as OCdt, commisioned on successful completion of BMOQ (IAP and BOTP) with an effective date the same as enrollment (means about 4 mos of backpay) this I suspect...

Let me share a little perspective.  One of my junior hands a few years ago joined the navy from Victoria, this is in the days when Reg force BMQ's were conducted all over the place due to backlogs, he did his BMQ in Victoria, OSQAB, QL3 in Victoria, he was posted to a west Coast ship in...

I'll jump on this one also, ok you may lose some in wages due to your pay cut, but you are now making what a reg force Cpl makes as a class C reservist, your costs are no different than before you took the contract, after work-up trg you will go to theater, you will not be taxed, you will earn...
